Jamaica vs Trinidad & Tobago Prediction & Pick

Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago aren't strangers, having previously met twice this year. They collided twice in three days back in March, resulting in a 1-0 victory for Trinidad & Tobago in the first encounter before the two countries played to a 0-0 draw the second time around.

Although Trinidad & Tobago has the most recent victory in this all-time rivalry, I'm taking Jamaica to emerge victorious on Wednesday. The Jamaican team played well against the United States in their draw, holding the Americans goalless until the 88th minute. If they can reproduce that effort, beating Trinidad & Tobago won't be an issue.

As great as Trinidad & Tobago after its tournament-opening win, Jamaica will bring it back down to earth.

Final Score Prediction:'Jamaica: 1 | Trinidad & Tobago: 0

Jamaica vs Trinidad & Tobago Best Bet

As far as the best bet goes, I'm taking the Under on the 2.5-goal total. Neit her side is an offensive powerhouse, highlighted by Jamaica scoring an average of one goal in its last five matchups while Trinidad & Tobago averaged 1.6 in its previous five.

Additionally, the last five Jamaica vs. Trinidad & Tobago showdowns have seen an average of 1.2 goals scored, finishing under 2.5 in all but one of those meetings. Considering that the countries finished with the Under on this prop twice already in 2023, I don't expect anything to change this week.
